How it started
History
George C. Hugill, a native of Chicago, opened an architects' office in Sioux Falls in May, 1919. From July to November of that year he was a member of the firm of Hugill & Finkelhor, architects, with Robert Finkelhor. In 1921 he formed the partnership of Hugill & Blatherwick with Wilfred F. Blatherwick, chief draftsman for Perkins & McWayne, with whom he would work for the rest of his career.
After World War II the partnership was expanded. In 1946 it became Hugill, Blatherwick & Fritzel, with the addition of Wendell C. Fritzel, and in 1956 it became Hugill, Blatherwick, Fritzel & Kroeger, with the addition of Jean R. Kroeger. Hugill died in 1956, followed by Blatherwick in 1960. In 1963 their names were dropped, and the firm became Fritzel, Kroeger, Griffin & Berg with the addition of architect Edward L. Griffin and engineer Milton L. Berg. In 1985 the firm was incorporated as Holman Beck Associates, with architect Blake Holman and engineer Bill Beck as principals. In 1990 it became Holman & Associates with Beck's departure. The firm was dissolved in 2009.
